summer_skinSo, thanks to a couple people on my flist I was led to this link in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stoney321's journal. The gist of the story is that the president of this soil/garden care company used the mailing list OF the company to air his grievances regarding CBS' primetime programming that showed two gay men expressing their feelings for each other (I believe he said they hugged) on one show and two lesbians in the next kissing and one of their father's accepting that his daughter was a lesbian. He believes that trying to make homosexuality seem like "normal" behaviour is wrong and actually used the "It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" line. Are you fucking kidding me?
I can't even begin to start where this is ALL WRONG. Abuse of power as the head of a company- wrong. Trying to spread your homophobic and bigoted beliefs via said company- wrong. Believing you're NOT homophobic and bigoted- WRONG.
I've sent a comment in via the feedback page thatstoney321 linked in their post and then I went to CBS.com and sent in feedback to try and counteract any negative feedback they've recieved as a result of the asshat's email. I don't watch CBS but once in a blue moon now but why in the hell should television be set back because of one self-entitled, douchebaggy, bigoted asshole with a big email list?
